New York Giants' Victor Cruz is Cruz-ing Past Adversity

Christopher Spina of Giants101.com has a story on UMass alum Victor Cruz. The story focuses how the wide receiver overcame adversity to be successful at UMass, made the Giants as an undrafted rookie, dealt with injury in his rookie season, and now has the challenge of not only the NFL lockout, but once again proving himself to a team that drafted a wideout and has two others returning from injuries.

"With the Giants drafting speedy Jerrel Jernigan in the third round of this year's draft, the returns of Ramses Barden and Domenik Hixon from injury, as well as the potential re-signing of possession receiver Steve Smith, Cruz will once again have to prove that he belongs on this team. After looking at all that he has overcome, though, I wouldn't bet against him."
